Remember We Can't Change Washington Without Changing The People We Send There!

Thank you for your support over the past year. Talking with voters across the 6th Congressional District of New Jersey has continued to inspire me and has shown me that the desire to take back our government is real. Today, we have the rare opportunity to restore common-sense principles to Washington D.C. Together, we can:

-Repeal the Government take-over of Health Care.

-Stop the Reckless Deficit Spending of the Pelosi-Pallone agenda.

-Stop the Tax Hikes and Get New Jersey Back to Work. The choice is clear. Polls are open until 8 pm tonight.

Please Vote for me, Anna Little, today when you go to the voting booth. I would be deeply honored to have your vote.

After you've voted, I hope you will consider helping getting others out to vote. If you can make calls, pass out literature or go door to door please call our headquarters at 732-658-5461.

If you need a ride to the polls or have any other questions please call 732-658-5461

Remember we can't change Washington without changing the people we send there!

Thank You!

LITTLE CAMP: THE FINAL ARGUMENT

(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign wrapped up its final full day on the campaign trail today with its Final Argument.

If you believe that:
* Your taxes are too low
* Washington doesn't spend enough of your money already
* Washington bureaucrats should be involved in your personal health care decisions
* Borrowing trillions of dollars and handing the bill to your grandchildren is fair
* Our nation is heading in the right direction
Then your vote is clear - 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone is your man.

But if you believe that:
* Your taxes are too high
* Washington already spends too much of your money
* Washington bureaucrats have no business between you and your Doctor
* Borrowing trillions of dollars and handing the bill to your grandchildren is immoral
* Our nation is heading in the wrong direction
Then your vote is just as clear - Anna Little needs your vote!

LITTLE CAMP: IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THE MEDIA HAS STARTED COVERING US ... PART THREE!

(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign - not wanting to disappoint its many supporters and volunteers who this morning reminded the campaign's high command that a tremendous 20-minute full-length interview with Anna Little has been sitting on the web site of Millennium Radio for the last several weeks - this morning uses this press release to send around the web link to that interview.

The video version of that interview can be found online here, roughly halfway down the page, immediately following the interview with Frank Pallone:

LITTLE CAMP: IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THE MEDIA HAS STARTED COVERING US ... PART TWO!

(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign launched the final 36 hours of the campaign by reminding its supporters of the favorable media clips the campaign has received as both New Jersey and national observers have - finally, and not a moment too soon! -- noticed that the campaign is peaking at just the right time.

Below are excerpts from some of the campaign's recent media coverage:

Here in Central New Jersey, Republican Anna Little has never before run for Congress, and she has just 2½ cents for every dollar her Democratic opponent can put into the race ...

"Anna's Army" is one example of the tea party's loosely organized effort nationwide to get out the vote against the far more experienced operation being waged by labor unions and President Barack Obama's political team. Her supporters come by the dozens, often more than 100 at a time, to hand-deliver campaign material.

"So many of us, it's the very first time we've been involved in politics," says one of them, Nick Romagnoli, a semiretired commercial real estate broker who worries about the national debt. "We've just had enough."

...

In New Jersey, Frank Giarlo, a 74-year-old former Democrat who doesn't identify himself with the tea party, was among those who got a visit from Anna's Army. He told his visitors his health insurance costs have risen dramatically since he retired 13 years ago and he fears the health care law will make his rates still higher. He asked the volunteers to leave a Little campaign sign for his yard.

http://www.app.com/article/CN/20101029/POLITICS/101029058/Can-the-tea-party-deliver-voters-on-Election-Day-



We'll know in the early hours next Wednesday how it all turned out. But here is one way you'll know it's huge: Anna Little wins in New Jersey. If she wins it means the Republican wave swept all before it ...

When Ms. Little spoke the people in front had to lower their signs. She's 4-foot-11½. She said, "It is my honor to be part of your grass-roots movement." She said, "I'm gonna bring the Jersey shore to the Washington Beltway to straighten them out." This got cheers. "A Jersey girl can take a California girl any day." That got cheers too ...

Ms. Little is confident of victory. She believes no one understands the mood of the voters this year: "No one's noticed what's going on." The Democrats are "not in line with the people." The No. 1 issues: jobs and the economy. After that, health care. "You have government and insurance companies together directing what kind of insurance must be purchased by an individual or employer." Her opponent, as head of a House subcommittee on health care, was a major supporter of ObamaCare. It caused tumultuous town-hall meetings in August 2009 ...

She agrees there is no civil war in the party-yet. All people want are solutions to our problems. "They don't care who does it. They are happy to be in the Republican Party as long as it does not compromise its principles. . . . They will hug me and kiss me now, but they'll be on top of me when it comes time for me to vote and they will hold my feet to the fire ..."

She was asked if they call her the Little Engine That Could. "No," she said. "They call me the Little Engine That Will."

-- Peggy Noonan, "A Little Lady Predicts a Big Win," Wall Street Journal, Oct. 29, 2010


In New Jersey, 11-term Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone has seen his lead over the Republican tea-party favorite Anna Little narrow rapidly as undecided independents have broken in Ms. Little's favor.

"If Little wins, it will represent a complete annihilation of the Democrats in this race, and it could well happen," says Patrick Murray, who directs the state's Monmouth University Polling Institute. Across the state, he said, "independents are going for Republicans more than I've ever seen before."

LITTLE: SENIORS WILL HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND THAN I

LITTLE: SENIORS WILL HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND THAN I

(HIGHLANDS, October 29) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little focused her campaign's message on the large population of seniors residing in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District - seniors who have been disproportionately hurt by the votes cast by Frank Pallone during his 22 years in the Congress.

"All over our district, I meet seniors who are worried for the future - theirs, and their children's and grandchildren's," said Little. "They see a government taking over more and more of their decisions. They see a political class that seems no longer to care about them, despite the sacrifices they've made to allow younger generations to enjoy a lifestyle they couldn't. And they fear a government that doesn't seem to know how best to get our economy back on track.

"New Jersey seniors should know this - they'll have no better friend than I, when I go to Congress in January," continued Little.

"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a vote to cut $500 billion from Medicare.

"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a series of votes over the last 22 years to raise the national debt from $2.6 trillion to $13.6 trillion, and pass on a debt of more than $30,000 to every man, woman and child in this country - including our grandchildren.

"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast votes to put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients - including their senior patients, who may now find themselves forced off their current health care coverage and into some new plan that doesn't provide the benefits to which they've grown accustomed.

"And it was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast vote after vote for higher taxes and more government spending - higher taxes and more spending that saps our economy, drives up the cost of living, makes New Jersey one of the least affordable states in the country, and forces many of them to become 'plane ticket grandparents' - the kind of grandparents who need to use a plane ticket to see their grandchildren, because they've been forced to move out of state for their retirements, and only see their grandchildren at the holidays, when they get on a plane to come back to New Jersey.

"On all these fronts and more, our current Congressman has failed to lead for seniors," said Little. "He has raised their taxes, borrowed their money, and put their children and grandchildren in debt. It's time we stopped that, and moved in a new direction - a direction that gives New Jersey's seniors more freedom of action, leaves more money in their pockets, and secures their ability to see the doctor of their choice.

"In four days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.

"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

Little: Why Is Frank Pallone's Web Site Silent On Obama (Pallone) Care?

(HIGHLANDS, October 28) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little today maintained her campaign's focus on Frank Pallone's recent silence on his role in the passage of the government takeover of health care, frequently referred to in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District as "PalloneCare."

"Back in the spring, when he thought it was going to be popular, my opponent infamously said of the government takeover of health care, 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill,'" said Little. "But now that the public has learned more about what's in it, and it's not nearly as popular as he thought it was going to be, he's gone radio silent - why, his campaign web site's 'On the Issues' section doesn't even MENTION health care!"

"Sadly, this is not surprising," said Little. "All we've heard from Frank Pallone is distortions of my views, rather than an explanation for the votes he cast for a failed trillion-dollar stimulus package, a failed cap and trade policy that would raise everyone's electricity bills, and the government takeover of health care.

"Of course, it's perfectly understandable - if I had cast a vote to cut Medicare by $500 billion, reduce patient choice, put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients, and raise taxes, I probably wouldn't want to draw attention to it, either.

"But that's the big difference between Frank Pallone and me - I would never have cast that vote in the first place!

"In five days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.

"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE TO PALLONE: WHERE ARE THE JOBS?!

(HIGHLANDS, October 22) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the release of New Jersey's unemployment figures for the month of September, showing that the state lost another 20,200 jobs, and the unemployment rate dipped two-tenths of a percent because so many working-age residents gave up on finding work and decided to leave the labor force - today asked her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, a simple question: "Where are the jobs?

"Mr. Pallone, today I have just one simple question for you," said Little. "Where are the jobs?!

"Today's unemployment figures continue the disturbing trend we've seen over the last 20 months - New Jersey continues to lose jobs," said Little. "In the month of September, New Jersey lost ANOTHER 20,200 jobs.

"That's the worst jobs report in 18 months," continued Little. "Not since March of 2009 has a New Jersey jobs report been this bad.

"Since the official end of the recession in June 2009 - well more than a year ago - New Jersey has LOST 62,400 jobs. It's a sad state of affairs when the government deems a recession officially 'over,' but we continue to lose jobs.

"Worse, the unemployment rate in September declined from 9.6 percent to 9.4 percent - not because more people found work, but because more working-age residents have been out of work so long that they GAVE UP on finding work, and removed themselves from the job market," continued Little.

"That's a sad, sad commentary on the failure of the Pelosi-Pallone strategy. And it's not what Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi promised when they rammed through their massive trillion-dollar 'stimulus' package - they promised, if you'll recall, that unemployment wouldn't go higher than 8 percent.

"The best thing the government can do is to lower tax rates and reduce regulation, and create an environment in which the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our nation will put their capital to work for all of us," continued Little. "Instead, for the last 20 months we've gone in exactly the opposite direction. Nancy Pelosi and Frank Pallone have made clear their determination to raise taxes on the job-creating class, and have made clear their determination to keep borrowing money to pay for more failed 'stimulus' programs.

"It's time for a change in direction.

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE CAMP TRANSLATES ASBURY PARK PRESS ENDORSEMENT

HIGHLANDS, October 21) - The campaign of Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the decision by the editorial board of the Asbury Park Press to endorse 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone - today released a translation of selected excerpts of the endorsement editorial.

APP: "Veteran Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. has been a tireless advocate for issues important to the people he has represented in his 6th Congressional District for the past two decades."

Translation: Frank Pallone is a 22-year incumbent. The year he was elected, the national debt was $2.6 trillion. Today, it stands at $13.7 trillion. Frank Pallone has been tireless, all right - tirelessly voting for more spending and more debt!

APP: "As chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, he helped craft the health care reform package."

Translation: As Pallone himself says, "This isn't Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill." If you're not happy with the government takeover of healthcare, you don't have to look too far to find its author - he's our incumbent, Frank Pallone! Blame it on him!

APP: "If re-elected, Pallone says he will concentrate on food and drug safety ..."

Translation: If re-elected, Pallone will likely continue activities that lead us to wonder if he regularly swaps official influence for campaign cash, or if it was just a one-time thing? See this New York Times story from last week:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/25/health/policy/25knee.html

APP: "Republican opponent Anna Little, a former Monmouth County freeholder and current mayor of Highlands, won the GOP primary as a Tea Party candidate."

Translation: As chardonnay-sipping, Brie-munching liberal elitists, we have no idea what is going on with this whole "Tea Party" thing. And because we've never had a Tea Party member to one of our cocktail parties, that concerns us.

APP: "Faced with the choice between Pallone and Little, voters in the district, which includes all or parts of 28 municipalities in Monmouth County, 10 in Middlesex County and one each in Somerset and Union counties, should opt for the thoughtful, considered positions of Pallone instead of the often strident protestations of Little."

Translation: We'd rather have an arrogant, out-of-touch, milquetoast liberal elitist representing us than send a fighter to Washington.

What is more interesting than the standard liberal-editorial-board-endorses-liberal-incumbent-for-reelection, dog-bites-man story is the Readers' Comments appended to the editorial endorsement. We commend to your reading the 78 comments that were posted within the first 24 hours of the endorsement publication, available here:

LITTLE: ZERO-FOR-TWO IS NOT A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF

(HIGHLANDS, October 21) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to news reports indicating that growth in healthcare spending is shrinking as a result of the stagnant economy and the recently enacted government takeover of healthcare - today reiterated her determination to fight to repeal Obamacare when she gets to Congress.

"Yesterday, the Chief Financial Officer of Johnson & Johnson reported that the growth in healthcare spending is decelerating," said Little. "The Wall Street Journal reported him attributing this to the sluggish economy. Patients are postponing elective surgeries, and some are worried about whether or not they should take on new medical expenses. Other challenges, he said, include the loss of COBRA benefits for those who have lost jobs and can't find new ones, and the rising costs of healthcare as a result of Obamacare.

"So this Congress is zero-for-two - they still haven't created the jobs they promised, and as a result, many Americans are being forced to postpone medical procedures they need.

"For 22 years, Frank Pallone has told us he knows best. Well, the citizens of the 6th Congressional District know better than he or any government bureaucrat what's best for them and their families. And that's why they're flocking to our campaign.

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE ENDORSES ACTION ON PEDIATRIC BRAIN INJURY

LITTLE ENDORSES ACTION ON PEDIATRIC BRAIN INJURY
Sarah Jane and Friends Endorse Anna Little


(HIGHLANDS, September 30) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little -- endorsing legislation recognizing Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury as the leading cause of death and disability for children and young adults, and endorsing the National Acquired Brain Injury Plan, which her opponent, 22-year incumbent Democrat Frank Pallone, has been blocking from an up-or-down vote in the Congress - today challenged Pallone to move the legislation out of his Energy and Commerce Committee Health Subcommittee.

At a press conference at Anna Little for Congress headquarters, Sarah Jane Donohue - the five-year-old namesake of The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation - announced her enthusiastic support for Anna Little for Congress. Several of Sarah Jane's friends, also stricken with brain injuries, also announced their support for Little.

"Frank Pallone is wrong to hold up the most broad-based, bipartisan healthcare initiative of this entire Congress," said Little. "As Chairman of the Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee, he has the power to move this legislation. More than a hundred Members of Congress of both parties have already co-sponsored this legislation, and yet it's been sitting in his subcommittee for a year."

"He has the audacity to speak about healthcare reform, when he is personally blocking a national political consensus dealing with the number one leading cause of death and disability for our children and young adults - brain injury. I support H. Con. Res. 198, and as a Member of Congress next year, I look forward to working with families and professionals who deal with pediatric acquired brain injury to better prevent, identify and treat this disease."

"The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey enthusiastically supports H. Con. Res. 198," says Barbara Geiger-Parker, President and CEO of the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey. "We hope Congress passes this measure as soon as possible." The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey is the Sarah Jane Brain Project's State Lead Center of Excellence for New Jersey, and it was involved in the development of the National Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan (PABI Plan).

Patrick Donohue, father of Sarah Jane Donohue - a five-year-old victim of traumatic brain injury suffered when she was violently shaken by her nurse when she was just a baby - said, "It is pretty clear Congressman Frank Pallone either doesn't care about kids with brain injuries, or he is so arrogant he thinks he knows better than the leading experts in the country. That's why I support Anna Little and I encourage all of my friends and family to do the same."

Jennipher Dickens - mother of four-year-old Christopher Daughtrey, who, like Sarah Jane Donohue, is a victim of traumatic brain injury suffered as a result of abuse - joined Donohue in endorsing Little over Pallone. "Frank Pallone has had a year to move this important legislation, and he's failed to do so. That's just wrong."

Craig Stevens - a survivor of a brain injury caused by a motor vehicle crash when he was but 20 years old - also endorsed Little. "Frank Pallone should be ashamed of himself! As a survivor of a brain injury myself, I wish there had been a National Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan in place when my injury occurred. If there had been such a plan in place, my life and my family's lives would be completely different today. We need people like Anna Little who actually listen and act as opposed to merely acting like they are listening. That's why I support Anna Little!"

PALLONE, SCARED, REFUSES TO TALK TO DOCTORS ABOUT HEALTHCARE, CANCELS JOINT APPEARANCE WITH LITTLE

(HIGHLANDS, October 20) - Twenty-two year incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone today cited a "scheduling conflict" - the lamest of lame excuses used by those who don't want to debate their opponents - in pulling out of a scheduled joint appearance with his challenger, Anna Little, planned for tomorrow night. The two had been scheduled to appear together before the Monmouth County Medical Society at the Oyster Point Hotel Red Bank, NJ at 7 PM. Anna Little plans to keep her commitment to the healthcare community and is scheduled as planned.

"Frank Pallone is scared to talk to doctors in New Jersey about the government takeover of healthcare he rammed through the Congress," said Little. "And that's disappointing. Not surprising, I must say, given his efforts to do everything he can to find ways not to have to appear on the same stage or in the same forum with me, but disappointing nevertheless.

"The good news," continued Little, "is that I'll have all that time to myself to hear the doctors complain about PalloneCare!"

Last week, Pallone refused to appear on set with Little to tape NJN's "On the Record" broadcast; instead, Little sat by herself in studio to take questions from Michael Aron, while Pallone was interviewed in his office by NJN's Adrienne Supino. Meanwhile, Little has accepted an invitation for a debate to be hosted and aired by News 12 New Jersey, but the station is still waiting for a response from Pallone.

Rather than take questions from New Jersey doctors and constituents concerned about the passage of PalloneCare (remember, he is on record declaring that "This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill."), the 22-year-incumbent has chosen instead to opt for the potentially more receptive audience of the Ocean Township Democratic Club.

According to an event invitation posted yesterday at Organizing for America - a Democratic National Committee front group - the Ocean Township Democratic Club will play host to Pallone at 7:30 PM.

"It's one thing to disrespect your constituents so much that you don't take their views into account when deciding how to cast a vote in Congress," concluded Little. "But when you don't even respect them enough to show up and take their questions, and opt instead for the refuge of an appearance before a local Democratic Club, you've taken disrespect to a new level.

"Remember, you can't change Washington without changing the people you send there!"

LITTLE: MY DETERMINATION TO REPEAL OBAMACARE ISN'T LITTLE AT ALL

(HIGHLANDS, October 19) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to news reports indicating that Boeing has joined a growing list of major American corporations that have decided to curtail their employees' health benefits in the wake of the government takeover of healthcare - today reiterated her determination to repeal Obamacare when she gets to Congress in January.

"We said from the beginning," said Little, "that if this monstrosity passed, companies would be forced to make a hard choice between dropping coverage for their employees or raising their employees' contributions to their benefits. Yesterday, Boeing announced that it is joining the long and growing list of companies that is already beginning to curtail benefits for its employees - in this case, for their 90,000 non-union employees.

"The government takeover of healthcare - 'Pallonecare,' in honor of his declaration that 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. It's MY bill' - was wrong on several fronts. It is bad medicine, and it is bad for business. And I cannot for the life of me understand why our Representative would think it was a good thing to raise the cost of doing business at a time when we're trying to dig our way out of a jobless recovery.

"Washington just doesn't get it," continued Little. "Rather than take the right kind of actions - like voting to extend ALL the current tax rates for EVERY federal taxpayer, so that the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our economy know what will be the tax rates they face next year, and can make investment decisions accordingly - our leaders focus on growing the size of government and the reach of government, pushing it into areas it has no business being.

"Repealing Pallonecare will be the first step to restoring our nation's economic growth," said Little. "And the second step will be to extend the current tax rates for ALL of America's taxpayers, so that NO ONE faces a tax hike in the middle of a jobless recovery.

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

OP-ED from September 16, 2010

What an honor it is to follow in the footsteps of Governor Chris Christie. While out on the campaign trail this season in my run against Incumbent Frank Pallone in New Jersey Congressional District 6, I have received countless comments congratulating Governor Chris Christie on recent accomplishments in defense of taxpayers and toward restoring the economy, putting New Jersey residents back to work. In Washington DC at various speaking engagements I’ve been approached by Congressmen and Congresswomen from across the nation remarking about their admiration of my governor, Chris Christie, who says what he means and does what he says. He is described as a “folk hero” in Washington DC and many have commented that they would support him if he ran for President of the United States. “We haven’t had such a refreshing example of taxpayer representation since Ronald Reagan,” one Congressional staffer commented to me.

No one can agree with any fellow human being on every issue. We are destined to express differing opinions from time to time as we travel our different paths from stop to stop on the campaign trail, and while working in elected office. Governor Christie and I agree on the matters that are of paramount importance to taxpayers: Jobs, the Economy, and Taxes. Together, we will ensure that New Jersey’s economy is moving again as quickly as possible, and that tax burdens on all taxpayers are reduced so that the New Jersey’s economy can be restored to health. I am proud to be described as a “Chris Christie style Republican”, and it is my honor to announce when visiting other states that I am a Mayor, and candidate for Congress from New Jersey, Chris Christie’s state.

On Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at the home of Kenny Avon in Point Pleasant Governor Christie honored me with a keynote address at my fundraiser for my race against Frank Pallone. In addition to stating that there was no other Congressional Incumbent that he wanted to defeat more than Frank Pallone, Governor Christie congratulated me on my tenacity and my determination to ensure that taxpayers in Congressional District 6 received honest, passionate and steadfast representation in Washington. Governor Christie stated that he knew I could win my race because what I am doing has been done before. Governor Christie was outspent, but not outworked in his gubernatorial race. He won handily against then Governor Corzine frankly because the people of New Jersey had had enough.

My supporters are Chris Christie’s supporters. They believe in me as they believe in him. I am proud to be associated with this trailblazer who has laid the foundation for the grass roots campaign I run today. Governor Christie has stated he would like to campaign with me in this race. I’ve invited him to appear at one of my Saturday Ground Assault meetings, and I’ll be honored to participate in a Diner tour in the near future. I am grateful for the efforts of Governor Christie and GOP Chairman Jay Webber in securing the support of the Republican National Committee in my race. Our victory November 2 will be truly be a victory for Team New Jersey. Little Government is Good Government, New Jersey. Let’s take our government back!
